lyrics

You are a dead lawn of grass
A wicked snake that’s red and black
A fire starting in the dark
While children sleep, the thing that sparked
You are like a drop of blood
A brewing cloud, a lake of mud
A tired old decrepit soul
That found the mine, robbed of gold

Chorus
You are my forget-me-not
The one who tried to mess me up
You I cannot trust at all
But I hope you change, don’t change for me

You are smoke from cigarettes
A dream that fell and broke it’s neck
An aging cell, a dirty grey
A person who’s left debts unpaid
A bomb, a bomb, a mess of guts
Crooked streets and roads of ruts
A floor that creaks in a house that moans
The wretched stench of graveyard bones

Bridge
I have got a golden ticket here
You can take the train, get the hell out of here

You are drops of acid rain
Upon the crops meant to sustain
When you come back, I hope you do
You’ll be better, something new
You were like a drop of blood
You were like a lake of mud
If you wake up your tired soul
You’ll find the mine, find the gold.

"I've never seen an unknown performer with more power as when I saw Ariana performing at a music convention – I couldn't stop talking about her. The last performer I felt this way about was Bruce Springsteen"
